Floriade Canberra 2016

The Floriade was inaugurated in 1988 with a stunning floral display of exotic bulbs and annuals, which grow beautifully in Canberra’s climate. Ever since, the event becomes such a  success that it has become an annual celebration of spring in Australia.  Floriade has been held alongside iconic Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra’s Commonwealth Park, the heart of the nation’s capital.

Each year, more than one million blooms combine to create a stunning backdrop to a month-long festival filled with music, cultural celebrations, horticultural workshops, artistic displays, entertainment and recreational activities. Floriade runs from mid-September to mid-October and attracts more than 480,000 attendees each year.
